📚 Legal Learning – Property Law | Gifts to Minors
🚨 From Shri Ganpati Jurists – Legal Learning & Awareness Series
🔹 Minor’s Competence to Accept Gift (Non-Onerous)
Under Section 127 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, a minor is competent to accept a non-onerous gift (a gift that does not involve any burden or obligation). The law presumes acceptance, especially when the gift is from a parent or grandparent. No formal acceptance is required in such cases.
🔸 Key Legal Takeaways:
1. ✅ A minor can validly accept a gift that is beneficial (non-onerous) in nature.
2. 📌 Presumption of Acceptance exists—especially when the gift is from a close relative like a parent or grandparent.
3. 🧾 No need for overt acceptance or signatures; even knowledge of the gift may suffice.
4. 🛑 Once a valid gift deed is executed in favor of a minor, the title vests with the minor and any subsequent sale deeds cannot be challenged unless specific vitiating factors (like fraud, coercion, etc.) are pleaded.
5. ⚖️ Mere challenge to gift or sale deeds without proper relief sought or pleadings is not maintainable in court.
